The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender (性别) gap in technology. Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Women says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information." After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University Women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom. An instructor of a computer lab says he’’s already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow." Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls’’ computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "The number one reason girls told us they don’’t like computer games is not that they’’re too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they’’re incredibly boring." Purple Monn says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what’’s going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, "What we definitely found from girls is that there is no intrinsic (固有的) reason why they wouldn’’t want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing." The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this: the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century. According to the passage, girls are victims of the gender gap in technology because______.

The loudest outcry (大声疾呼) about poverty seemed to come in the wealthiest country by far in the world. According to most calculations, through most of the 1945-1970 period the United States had a standard of living well above Europe’’s and many times above the world average. Yet protests about grinding poverty, hunger, and dreadful need proceed from the United States than from countries with one fortieth of their living standard. (An annual per capita income of eight dollars is typical of much of Africa and Asia and not a little of South America.) It would seem strange to these people(they were only aware of the fact) that American radicals demand a retreat from an American commitment to the far concerns of the globe so that the money thus saved can be spent raising the standard of living of underprivileged Americans. What this last point suggests is not so much that human wants all never to be satisfied though this is doubtless true, and the American suburbanite (郊区居民) deprived of his second car and his color TV suffers just as acutely as an African farmer in need of a second cow and a screen door. Rather, it suggests the extent of contemporary broach (违背) of social norms—the emancipation (解放) of the individual self. People have learned that their wants are sacred and right ought to be satisfied. They have learned to consider any obstacle to personal fulfillment an intolerable insult They have greatly expended the circle of self-awareness. They no longer accept sharp limitations on individual desires in the name of the group. The amount of potential human discontent has always been infinite misery, failure, misfitting, bitterness, hatred, envy beyond telling. It has usually failed of utterance, and in the past it was accepted passively as being beyond help. According to the author, who are most concerned with the problem of poverty

阅读下面短文，回答文后问题。 《正气歌》云：“时穷节乃见。”其实，在平凡的生活里又何尝不显现出精神的分野。 就拿做诗来说，同为咏“寒食”，苏东坡诗云：“梨花淡白柳叶青，柳絮飞时花满城。惆怅东栏一株雪，人生看得几清明” 贾似道诗云：“寒食家家插柳枝，留春春亦不多时，人生有酒须当醉，青冢儿孙几个知” 苏诗抒发的是时光易逝壮志未酬的感叹，贾诗吐露的则是时光易逝及时行乐的真情。贾诗不为不工，然而精神自贱，格调安得不卑 真正的精神重于九鼎，清于漱玉。在革命者的身上，躯壳可以委沟壑，精神却长留天地。读林觉民烈士《与妻书》，至今犹觉字字沉雄，句句殷红。 ①他爱他的妻，然而“吾充吾爱汝之心，助天下人爱其所爱，所以敢先汝而死，不顾汝也”。舍家赴难的烈士当然也有个人的得失，但不忘“以天下人为念”，使“有无”、“得失”的价值观发生了逆转，其境界之高，难与俗人道也。 ②方志敏在《清贫》中写了被俘的情景，敌士兵用手榴弹威胁他拿出钱来： “你骗谁，像你当大官的人会没有钱!”这就是他们的逻辑。 ③但是方志敏却使他们失望了。他说到自己的“财产”，几套旧褂裤，几双线袜，且已交与妻子放在深山坞里保藏着。对此，他不无骄傲地“自嘲”，“但我说出那几件传世宝，岂不要叫那些富翁们齿冷三天!” ④今天，江山已改，远非“越穷越光荣”的时代可比，然而在社会主义现代化的建设中，人的精神仍然面临着新的考验。有人把共产主义精神当作束缚自我的锁链，或者把利己主义的招牌公然挂在门楣上，或者偷偷地违法乱纪，贪污受贿，任灵魂锈蚀、腐烂。 这一部分现代文阅读的材料在节选时略有改动。节选的这一段文字，重点谈的是人的“精神”问题，革命者的“精神”重于九鼎，长留天地；无论是过去，还是今天，人的“精神”都面临着考验。 对文中提到的诗文及作者，在此作些简要的介绍。 《正气歌》：五言古诗，南宋文天祥作于至元十八年(1281)，当时文天样被囚于元大都(今北京)，幽暗潮湿的土室已两年，经受了严酷的牢狱生活的考验，也拒绝了元人多方的劝降，他认为支撑自己坚贞不屈的精神力量就是纵贯中华历史的浩然正气，于是写作了《正气歌》，诗中的“正气”表现的是一种精神力量，是中华民族崇尚气节操守传统的集中体现。 “寒食”：中国传统节令之一，在清明前一或二日。传说春秋时晋国介之推辅佐晋公子重耳(晋文公)出亡归国后，隐于山中，重耳欲逼他出山，下令烧山，之推抱树而死，重耳为悼念之推，于是禁止在之推死日生火煮食，只能吃冷食。以后相沿成习，称为寒食。 苏东坡(1037—1101)：名轼，字子瞻，东坡居士为其号，四川眉山人。学识渊博，多才多艺，与父苏洵、苏辙合称“三苏”，“唐宋八大家”之一。 贾似道(1213—1275)：字师宪，台州人，因其姐为贵妃，故宫至左丞相，南宋时有名之奸相。 林觉民(1886—1911) 字意洞，号抖飞，又号天外生。福建闽侯(今福州)人。黄花冈七十二烈士之一。 《与妻书》：又称《绝笔书》，系林觉民烈士于起义前三天写给其夫人陈意映女士的，信中充满了牺牲一己，为争取全国同胞自由幸福的革命精神。 方志敏(1900—1935)：中国无产阶级革命家，江西弋阳人。1923年加人中国共产党，1935年1月因叛徒出卖而被捕，在狱中坚贞不屈，7月英勇就义，遗著有《可爱的中国》、《狱中纪实》等。 与“何尝不显现出精神的分野”句意不同的一句是：
